Secret Place

Psalms 91:1 – He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

            This beautiful Psalm speaks to us about dwelling in the secret place of the Most High.  This Psalm is known as the protection Psalm.  It teaches that there is a place of safety in the presence of God.  Many believers have claimed the promises in these Scriptures for protection.

What does the author mean about dwelling in the secret place of the Most High?  The secret place is a place of fellowship and communion that we can enjoy in relationship with the Lord.  God desires to have a personal intimate relationship with each of His children.

Jesus referred to the secret place in Matthew 6:6.  “But you, when you pray, go into your room (closet), and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” God is calling us into the secret closet to impart divine inspiration and direction for our lives.

The secret place is a place that can only be found in His presence.  It is the meeting place where He lifts us above the normal ordinary burdensome problems and trials that we are facing.  The secret place is where we learn to discern His voice.  It is the place where we learn what pleases or displeases Him. 

Who can come into this secret place?  It is a place reserved by our Heavenly Father for every believer.  The Holy Spirit calls us away from the distractions and noises we encounter in our daily lives into a place of communion and fellowship with Him.

 The Apostle Paul referred to the secret place as being “seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 1:3).  It is in the secret place that we understand that we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing.


The Lord invites each of us into this secret place.  We must be willing to spend time seeking His face, searching His heart, and learning His ways.  The secret place is calling today.

A Declaration of Ownership

Psalm 24:1-2 – “The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters.”               Psalm 24 is the third part of a trilogy with Psalm 22 and 23. David opens Psalm 22 prophetically with the words Jesus would say on the cross, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from the words of My groaning?” Psalm 23 reveals our Lord as the Great Shepherd who cares for His sheep. Psalm 24 reveals the Lord as the King of Glory.  Psalm 24 begins with a declaration of ownership. The Psalmist identifies the Lord as the Creator. Psalm 24:2 says, “He has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the waters. Psalm 89:11 says, “The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all its fullness, You have founded them.”  The beginning of cr...

The Tent Peg of Jael

Judges 4:21-22 – “Then Jael, Heber’s wife, took a tent peg and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went down into the ground; for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died. And then, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, “Come, I will show you the man whom you seek.” And when he went into her  tent,  there lay Sisera, dead with the peg in his temple.”             The book of Judges covered a chaotic time in Israel’s history.   A key Scripture for Judges in found in Judges 21:25, “Every man did was right in his own eyes.” There were seven cycles of apostasy, where the covenant children of God would turn away from the principles of the Word of God.             When they had godly leadership they would serve the Lord.   When that leader would die they would turn f...

Rebuilding the Broken Altar of Prayer

In Matthew 21: 12-13 , “ Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’” Jesus made this declaration, “My house shall be called a house of prayer!”  I believe that God is calling us back to the altar of prayer.  For several weeks the Lord has dealt with me about rebuilding the broken altar of prayer in our personal and corporate lives.  If we are going to see spiritual breakthrough in our churches and communities then we must rebuild and return to the altar of prayer. Wayman Rogers writes, “The ministry of prayer is the most important of all ministries in the church.  Prayer creates the atmosphere and binds the powers of darkness so the gospel of Jesus can go forward and the church can prosper....
